Protests in Sri Lanka

Thousands of protesters in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, stormed the president's official residence and secretariat on Saturday, over the country's financial crisis.

Some protesters, carrying Sri Lankan flags and helmets, entered the presidential residence.

Videos posted on social media show demonstrators moving inside the palace.

Police fired shots into the air but were unable to stop the angry crowd from surrounding the presidential residence.

The island of 22 million people is facing a severe foreign exchange shortage that has limited essential imports of fuel, food and medicine, plunging it into its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948. /CNA.al
